DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE RIGHT FRONT AND LEFT REAR SERVICE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK WHEN BRAKE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED AND INSPECTED THE TRAILER SERVICE BRAKES. THE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED TWO OF THE FOUR BRAKE ASSEMBLIES WERE OUT OF ADJUSTMENT AND RENDERED USELESS DURING NORMAL BRAKING APPLICATIONS. ALL FOUR BRAKE ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE TRAILER IS A 2006 AIRSTREAM TRAVEL TRAILER, MODEL SAFARI.
ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE 110-VOLT RECEPTACLE IN THE GALLEY AREA OF THE UNIT IS REQUIRED TO BE PROTECTED BY A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER (GFI) RECEPTACLE OR BY A GFI TYPE BREAKER IN THE PANEL BOARD. THE 110-VOLT GALLEY RECEPTACLE UNIT DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROTECTION.

Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE PRESENT GALLEY RECEPTACLE, INSTALL A NONMETALLIC OUTLET BOX, AND INSTALL AND TEST THE GFI 110-VOLT RECEPTACLE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 18, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT AIRSTREAM AT 937-596-6111.
